Join the Oxford-educated historian Mary Hollings as she transports you to a vibrant yet tumultuous era in European history. This engaging narrative introduces a cast of intriguing characters, including the cunning Cesare Borgia, the fervent Savonarola, Frances beloved King Henry IV, and the resolute Queen Christina of Sweden. As we traverse the battle-scarred landscapes from Italy to the German states, we witness the relentless struggles for imperial unity and religious supremacy, culminating in over two centuries of warfare. The decline of Spain, the fragmentation of Italy and the Holy Roman Empire, and the rise of France under the astute leadership of Richelieu mark the end of this transformative period. Experience a rich tapestry of history that shapes the future of Europe. (Summary by Pamela Nagami, M.D.)Copyright Early Modern Mondiale Politica e governo Scienze politiche Spiritualità
